I live 27000 feet from the CO, so no DSL. Too many trees for satellite, and town has no cable. The best our squirrel-infested phone lines can do is about 28.8K, and for that I get to pay $20/month, plus the cost of a second phone line.
I'd basically pay a premium for even a BW-limited service, if it were available, even at say $70/month. I'm not the only one in this boat; I wonder if the remaining market that isn't yet served by broadband will have an effect on service levels -- we are at the moment at least willing to pay more for less.
